Fasthosts broadband review: Broadband 1024

COMING in on the rather expensive side of things for a 1Mb broadband package, the Fasthosts Broadband 1024 package is perhaps not for every broadband user.

We also have to note that Fasthosts aren't exactly putting as much effort into their broadband as they seem to dedicate to their domain hosting services.

In fact, apart from the additional choice of a .eu domain name, we don't think this package has changed since ChooseISP.co.uk first reviewed it 4 years ago!

You can get much, much cheaper broadband elsewhere - with higher speeds too.

So how are Fasthosts justifying charging this much for a 1Mb broadband connection?

No tie-in

Fasthosts doesn't tie you into a contract but this of course means you will have to provide your own hardware, and worse, you'll have to pay Fasthosts a rather annoying £50 activation fee.

Iif you're switching from another provider activation is free but you'll have to sign up for a least three months.

However you do get your own plot of Fasthosts' professional-grade hosted web space as well as a .com, .co.uk or .eu domain name.

Attractive email package

The Fasthosts package also comes equipped with a very attractive email package offering 15 standard mailboxes, webmail and - for 'Crackberry' addicts - Direct Push mobile for Exchange mailboxes.

Fasthosts broadband is particularly well regarded for its excellent and free 24/7 technical support.

After all, there is no company better equipped to handle technical issues than a techy company like Fasthosts.

That said, you'd still have to be pretty dedicated to the Fasthosts broadband cause to want to pay this much for a 1Mb connection, when you can get both faster broadband and cheaper broadband with equally competent technical support elsewhere.
